I saw this recently on FB
Hula hoop rug made from t-shirt scraps http://spoonful.com/crafts/hula-hoop-rug |
use some of the ribbing for making flowers and embellishment - roll up from one end, stitching together at the base as you go - makes "roses"..wide ribbing as on sweatshirt/t-shirt sleeves can be scalloped to make larger flowers.

If you have any little girls in your life, they can braid strips and make cute bracelets from them. Just Google "bracelets from t shirt strips"
|
The strips make great ties for plants, especially tomato plants, not abrasive and have some give to them. I also use them on fruit vines. I make strips and crochet them into hot pads in the kitchen.

There is a pattern on utube for making scarfs , maybe .

I used the narrow hems to make name labels for my DH socks. I used the alphabet on my Janome machine.
then sew the labels on by hand . They stretch just enough to pull the sock on easily. The colored thread does not fade like markers when the nursing home washes in very hot water. Evelyn |
Cut the remnants into cotton yarn. Googling will give you lots of tutorials. I have been making potholders on the little child's loom since second grade and still like these woven ones best of all. Cotton loops have been getting hard to find and horribly expensive. I make loopers for the loom by cutting rings from orphan socks and tee shirt sleeves. I have also used the continuous tee shirt yarn on the loom instead of the loopers.
Many kinds of remnants can be made into rag rugs via crochet, needle weaving, hooking, sewing scraps to a solid backing or braiding. Works best to limit each project to one type of material. The web is full of up cycle tutes and ideas. |
My son never remembers to pack bibs in the diaper bag, so I left the neck ribbing intact and cut the back unused part of the shirt at the top into a good shape and size for a bib. They don't look great because I didn't spend any time on them, but I have great semi-disposable bibs that slip over the head.
